Disneyland Paris Star Wars Jedi Training Academy Press Preview
The Star Wars Jedi Academy is due to open in Disneyland Paris on July 11th, but this past Sunday there were previews for the press. The final attraction will be located in Videopolis, but this preview took place in the Star Tours after show area. I turned up early for the first preview and was let in, but was quickly told that this was not the preview I should be in. The very nice lady in charge made a phonecall and a few minutes later told me that in fact I…

Disneyland Paris Frozen Summer Fun Review: Frozen Sing-along Show
Like many of you, I was really disappointed when both Tarzan and Mickey’s Winter Wonderland disappeared from The Chaparral Theater, especially after the Fantasy Festival Stage changed to Meet Mickey Mouse and with The Lion King already long gone from Videopolis. Times have been hard for fans of stage shows in Disneyland Paris of late, until the news of the Frozen show broke. As time went on we learned it would be a Frozen Sing-along show, which I was never particularly thrilled about. I like Frozen, not to the extent of…

June 2016’s Disney Performing Arts Concerts in Disneyland Paris
When I first visited Disneyland Paris in 2002 we stayed in the Hotel Cheyenne, and whilst walking to our room we saw a bunch of teens with hoodies on, all bearing the name of a performance arts school. They were such a happy and lively bunch that we decided to check out when and where they were performing and saw them put on a great performance on what used to be the Fantasy Festival Stage, now Meet Mickey Mouse. They were just one of many schools and performance arts clubs performing…

Disneyland Paris News: runDisney Half Marathon Weekend – September 2016
It was over 2 years ago that I got a sniff of runDisney coming to Disneyland Paris and assumed back then that it may come to the resort in 2014. Well it was true that plans had probably started to take place, but as we’ve learned in the last few months, it’s 2016 that will see the inaugural event come to Europe. The exact date for what is called the Disneyland Paris Half Marathon Weekend, is September 23rd-25th. In the last few days both runDisney and Disneyland Paris have been promoting…

What If…One of the Lands in Disneyland Paris Had to Close – Which Would You Choose?
It’s a strange question I realise, but I wondered, with all the refurbishments going on at the moment and those planned (see here), if they had ever had so much being worked on in one land that closing it had been considered. I’m thinking no is the answer to that, but it did get me thinking, if it did happen, which land would you be least upset with them closing, and why? This is of course massively subjective for each individual but I’m going to have a go at explaining why…

Disneyland Paris Rumour: Star Wars, Avengers & Cars Coming to the Studio Tram Tour
There was a time when I would defend the Backstage Studio Tram Tour attraction in Walt Disney Studios, but non working effects, dilapidated sets and stagnant themes led to not even I being able to stand behind it any longer. So the rumour coming from disneylandparisbonsplans.com that changes are on the way is a very welcome one, and one that I very much hope comes to fruition. So, what are these rumoured changes? Star Wars in place of Dinotopia Speaking to people I seemed to be one of the few people…
